In Zhou Chengli's study, Wen Ni went in and immediately bolted the door behind her.
She turned the study upside down, rummaging through every hidden compartment on the desk and the bookshelves.
Still, she didn't find the bead.
Seeing that an hour had already passed, and Zhou Chengli could return at any moment, Wen Ni wanted to back out.
But she truly couldn't bear to give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Wen Ni turned in a circle.
Her gaze landed at the very top of Zhou Chengli's bookshelf.
There stood a statue of Bodhidharma—

—the symbol of the God of Wealth.
Without a second thought, Wen Ni moved a stool over, climbed on top, and stacked a few books beneath her before she could barely reach it.
"Tianyang is me, Tang Zifeng." A few faint words sounded from his mouth. At this moment, Zifeng's expression was ice-cold, utterly devoid of any emotion, and he paid no heed to Tang Tianyang's infinitely furious voice and tone.
And Ye Zeming intended to exploit this trait to launch a challenge amid the vast system of shop achievements.
The God-Blessed Sky Shield manifested, forming a hemispherical barrier of protection. Even the stone platform beneath it was covered by a thin screen of light. Those inside could not leave the shield, nor could they even break through the mountain rock beneath their feet.
Chen Yun could hardly so much as turn his neck. All he could do at that moment was silently watch Gongsun Lüyi, who lay sprawled on the silk cloth across from him.
The unit of more than three hundred men were all elites; no matter how shocked they were, they immediately submitted to discipline. Everyone assembled in the camp, was counted off, and then began a hurried march toward the county town. Not long after this elite force ran out of camp, the other units also began to muster and fall in, hurrying over in the direction of the county town.
Seeing that the war of words was about to turn into a physical brawl, everyone present—whether from the Palace of Three Saints or the Alliance of Loose Cultivators—stepped forward to mediate. Lady Yun, who had always presented a gentle and charming face, and Bi'er, who in Ling Feng's eyes was gentle and understanding, now looked like two furious lionesses, impossible for anyone to dissuade.
Lü Qing kept clinging tightly to Li Zhonghe; the two of them remained silent for a very long time.
The demon-beast knight scouts newly conscripted into the army, seeing Wang Pengyu riding a winged flood dragon flying over from the direction of Sunset City-State, were naturally extremely tense. They hastily deployed into a battle formation, raising wooden spears one by one, faint battle qi covering the tips, pointing at Wang Pengyu from a distance.
"Haha, you only realize this now? Don't you think it's a bit late?" Zhang Tiansong let out a long laugh, his Purple Sun Sword sweeping up a sky-filling radiance as he surged toward Commander Yan and his group, seemingly intending to take on four opponents at once—one at the early Loose Cultivator stage, two at the mid Dao Pill stage, and one at the early Dao Pill stage.

"Fine, then let's do him. Follow my plan—here's what we'll do." At once, Wolf Fang began laying out his plan to Zifeng.
With Old General Li's departure, some rejoiced while others grieved. At the very least, the military officers present all wore grieving expressions, feeling genuine regret for Old General Li from the bottom of their hearts.
"And just what are you, to presume to meddle in the affairs of the Xu family?" Xu Jinxian could tolerate the main branch being cursed at, but she could not endure the entire Xu family being slandered.
"If it were me, I'd go with what's closest and just take that moth orchid. Why go out of my way to court a thorny blue 'enchantress' like Ling Ming?" Xiang Shaomu, on his own, had already imagined a path of love for his boss. Over there, Dielan had finished the formalities and issued the badge. Cheng Nuo casually gave him a knuckle rap and dragged away Xiang Shaomu, that peculiar creature.
"No way, I want to see the real thing. Can't you just jump out?" Hao Meng hastily stopped Xia Yenuo's hand as he reached for the phone. His true purpose was merely to punish Xia Yenuo—how could he let him get away with finding a dolphin as a stand-in?
"You say this is the Tianxuan Continent? What a godforsaken place. Never heard of it." Luo Yun said disdainfully.
Murong Chen picked out a few components from a pile of instruments, casually assembled them into a satellite, and then let go. The satellite went up into the sky on its own, with no need for first or second cosmic velocity or anything like that—because that was a satellite that ascended by anti-gravity.
